Problem in shell scripting - possible memory leak / violation?

Hi,

After long hours (for example 7 days with hibernation / dehibernation only) of running
cygwin without restart it often happens that I get similar error to those below. I tried
to execute some commands in loop (it works perfectly after machine restart!):

$ for i in `seq 0 9`; do for j in `seq 0 9`; do echo $i$j; ls $i$j/; done; done

So I have closed cygwin and any processes it had created. The I tried to run it once again
from CLI:

C:\>FOLDER\cygwin\cygwin_shell.bat
The system cannot execute the specified program.

Also - any CLI app I tried to run caused this error message:

Insufficient system resources exist to complete requested service.

Did anybody encounter such problem?
